I tried Aldi and Lidl dupes of Pringles – the winner tastes exactly the same and will save you money at the supermarket

PRINGLES tubes are popping up across the country as summer arrives with the perfect party-season snack.

Adhering to the tagline “once you’re on, you can’t stop”, the price can keep you from stocking up.

With food prices soaring, many of us are switching from the brand name to the supermarket version.

But can a private-brand imitator stand up to the crisis of the beloved Pringles brand?

We took them to research, picking up a few copies of the now famous stackable crisps.

Mother-of-three Lynsey Hope, 41, from West Malling, Kent, came up with copies of Aldi and Lidl – here’s what she found.

Original Pringles French Fries (200g)

It’s really hard to stop when you open one of these.

They are delicious, providing a satisfying savory taste with every bite.

The only downside is the price. However, at £2.25 for a tube, they are not a cheap item in the weekly shop.

But many of us still buy them, which is proof of how delicious they are.

Lidl’s products look more like a curved Pringle and are more yellow, but I find them too salty.

They’re cheaper than Aldi but are higher in salt, calories, and fat than the other two options.

Soak them in water, though, and they’re good enough.

Buy this tube every week instead of Pringles and you will save yourself 70 cents per week.

That’s over £36 for a year, well worth the exchange, even if they don’t taste as good.

Aldi’s ‘junk food’ is 22p cheaper than the famous brand per 100g.

The first thing you’ll notice is that the Stackers are a bit smaller, flatter, and not as curved as the Pringle crisps.

They are also slightly lighter in color. Taste wise though there is no difference.

When you take a bite, you get an identical salty taste and a nice rest.

I tested them on my kids without them knowing and they couldn’t tell the difference.

Although they are higher in salt, the Aldi crisps are actually slightly better for the waistline than the big brand with less fat and fewer calories.

It’s identical taste for less money and better for you. Win.

While not as cheap as Lidl when comparing price-per-weight, you can still save money at almost £40 a year by switching from the Pringles brand.
